My wife and I spent one night there. Our room in the older part of the hotel was clean and comfortable. The pool & spa was a great place to relax after a day's walking in the Marches. Most of all, the hotel staff (especially John) were exceptionally helpful throughout our stay.

My partner and I were very impressed with the photo's available on The Burton Hotel's website and didn't hesitate to book a room. On approaching the hotel our initital thoughts were 'oh no'! After going through a side entrance which was signed as 'hotel reception' our first glimpse of the hotel was walking past and smelling the gents loo's. There wasn't anyone at reception to greet us, she was busy working serving the locals behind the bar. We were given a key card and room number 6 and off we had to go with no directions. After finding our room we were hit by the smell of it as we opened the door..fousty and muggy. We opened up the window and went off to find the spa and pool...signage was sparse and very confusing. We were literally roaming around the hotel, no sign of life from anywhere other than the locals in the bar!We were impressed with the gym facilities and the manager was very friendly and helpful. A complete contrast to the staff..i say staff but we only encountered 2 different staff who appeared to work in the hotel! Eventually we asked for a different room and was given room 3, more spacious, no smell, but directly above the bar! The only plus is that the room was clean. The decor was awful.Food at the hotel was basic, a real basic bar menu..and the cooking didnt do it any justice at all. My well done steak was brought to the table after just 10 mins of ordering and it was bleeding on my plate! Not sure if the receptionist / barmaid / general all rounder, was bemused by my asking for it to be 'cooked' or wether it was the language barrier.. Breakfast was a little strange, we sat at a table for around 10 mins before a miserable young waitress came through a door, spotted us and asked what we wanted to drink! We werent advised on what was on offer, but could see for ourself at the bowls of 'stuff' on a different table. The cooked breakfast was minimal and nothing to write home about. The Spa and pool facilities were fab, the hotel... it was the pitts. For 95pound, the travellodge is a cheaper, more modern option!

I find The Burton hotel somewhat confusing. Obviously some serious money has been spent on the spa, which is beautiful - but clearly nothing spent on dragging the hotel back from the 70's into the modern world. We spent the night in the bridal suite, which considering the price we paid for the priviledge (£125), was considerably over priced for a cheap pine four poster bed screwed to the floor, with some very dated orange curtains/pelmets, bland decor, a tasteless painting on the wall and a bland, dated bathroom. I would have expected a little bit of a 'wow' factor for the bridal suite - but sadly dull and boring. Good job we were exhausted and literally hit the pillow as soon as we hit the room.....Lunch that day, wasn't bad - with an impressive sticky toffee pudding and a fantastic waitress - however I cannot be so complimentary about breakfast. There wasn't even a table for us to start - which considering we were booked in, you would have thought they should know how many guests to expect for breakfast. When our fry-up arrived it didn't exactly look exciting, a bit dull and not particularly generous in size, however everything was cooked very well and everything was incredibly tastey and the meat seemed fresh and local, the bacon was particularly good!! The waitress however was sluvenly, rude and clearly had no passion for her job. She was dull, uninterested and unhelpful. I agree with previous comments - although we came down for a late breakfast (9.30am - breakfast finishes @ 10am) there was only a jug of milk available and no juice, just empty jugs. A bowl of muesli, a bowl of grapefruit segments and a bowl of prunes to choose from- not exactly spoilt for choice. Both myself and my husband work in the hospitality sector and so would have expected these things to be topped up when empty regardless - especially as they open for breakfast to non-residents, and it's not cheap. It's a shame - Kington is a great place, with not many options to choose from in terms of staying in the town. I am hoping that the hotel is scheduling a refurb, as it is in desperate need of one. There just seemed to be very little consistancy in any of it!! There's plenty more that I can say, but not sure I have the time or inclination. A real shame.

Stayed 2 nights in room 11, very overpriced at £110 for saturday night..The room was very clean and staff were friendly and bar menu good value. The room was very basic for that pricing level- small antiquated 14" tv, no water, tissues, shampoo or spare pillows to replace the concrete ones provided on the bed.. Breakfast O K but poor choice of cereal, no yoghurts or fresh fruit and only One juice.The friendly staff and excellent cleanliness would have made it a good hotel at, a more sensible price
